Fenway is the warm up for the big show at Wrigley

The way I see it, Fenway is the warm up for the big shows in Wrigley! Thoughts?

Daron Oshay

Think they will all be special

Boston is a huge PJ area.

Haha I am! 2013 was so special I couldn't miss the opportunity to visit again. I have been to Fenway though, it's nice but just not the same

Most of Pearl Jam's shows are pretty epic, but I won't argue that sometime's they play a show that even goes above their own high bar (soldier field 95, mansfield 03, gorge 05, spectrum, etc..). The thing is you don't really know in advance which show is going to be beyond epic.... It's also getting harder because a 3 hour epic setlist used to be the standout amongst the 2 to 2.5 hour shows. Now that almost every show goes over 3 hours, what would constitute beyond epic? a 4 hour marathon?

Fair enough!

Ed will be tired of looking at stadium crowds by the time Wrigley rolls around, plus "been there done that before" attitudes from the band....

Ed clearly stated, when closing the Spectrum in Philly with a 3h40m set: "we aren't going to play that long any more"

But they would've gotten close in Wrigley if not for the rain delay

Ed says a lot of things.

As always I think PJ will make all 4 of these shows special in their own way. Its gonna be really interesting to see what they do over the two shows in each city.

Like at the spectrum (and I'm paraphrasing)- "we are going to play our whole catalogue". A few days later- "we would need six nights to play everything but we will try our best"

I guess it could be called going from winning to losing as well.

Agreed. I don't think there will be a loser in the bunch.

Friday night, knowing you can party all day and see them again on sunday, it will be incredible

I honestly think shows like Bonnaroo , Jazzfest, and this Colorado one will outshine the baseball ones. I get such a cool vibe from those scenarios. Fenway and Wrigley will still be awesome no doubt.

They've been "in talks" to play Fenway since '04 when Theo managed the Sox. He goes to Chicago and BAM! I was at that show it was good and I know the rain delay took A LOT of wind ot of people's sails. Fenway will be EPIC and Wrigley will get the show they were supposed to get before the rain hit! EVERYONE WINS!!!

CantKeepmedown

All 4 will absolutely be incredible. But I have no doubt that there will be "rank the stadium shows" threads, and people who were at the show that gets ranked last will vigorously defend it. And rightfully so.

Much like the 4 spectrum shows......I was only able to get to night 2. And while I'll admit it was probably the "weakest" of the 4 shows, I still had a fantastic time (amazing tailgating scene, great seats, and a solid all around set).
